Drowning in music!

Music, music, music! I feel like I'm drowning in music! But I guess there could be worse things to drown in, right? There's just so much preparation to do in order to teach all the choruses and groups their music for the Spring program and Jr. High Festival and worship team programs. And then there's the worship team at church too. But what I really want to do is visit my grandchildren.

This past week Jeremy has been "burning the candle at both ends" in an effort to keep up with his regular classes and his job at Barnes and Noble, in addition to getting his portfolio together to hand in to the university where he hopes to be accepted into the architecture graduate program. He has put in hours and hours and hours and hours resizing his drawings to the proper size required, designing the entire portfolio to look completely professional in its presentation. He has had lots of confirmation that his work is well above average. He also had a substitute teacher in one of his classes who graduated with a degree in architecture from the university where he is applying. She is well acquainted with everyone there and took Jeremy to meet the professors a few weeks ago. HOWEVER, there are only 45 spots and several hundred applications!! Today was the deadline and he got his portfolio and transcripts delivered just in the nick of time. Now he has to wait until April to find out if he was accepted or not! After he got all his drawings printed out on professional paper at Kinkos this afternoon he called me. This was his way of expressing his opinion about things - "Mom, my portfolio looks freakin' amazing. If they don't accept me they're retarded." Ha, ha, ha!! That's Jeremy! And I agree!

For another laugh, go to Lisa's blog and read about Sophie's day.

And in case you think I've forgotten about that precious baby up in State College, I HAVEN'T!! I talked with Lori last evening, and she said they went to a Super Bowl party for a while and Austin slept through everything until one of the big plays when all the men yelled their heads off. I hope we can go up to see him one of the days this weekend. Anthony just posted a few pictures of Austin getting his "necksercise." I had sent them a picture of Anthony at 3 weeks holding his head really high and told them to show it to Austin so he can see what he has to do to keep up with his old man. Looks to me like they must have shown it to him, because he's really got that head up in the air in the last picture!
